On the Validity of the No-Slip Condition in Nanofluidics

Koumoutsakos P., Jaffe R.l., Werder T., Walther J.H., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich, CH

In a collaboration with experimental groups at NASA and ETH Zürich we conduct computational studies towards the development of biosensors in aqueous environments. Examples include arrays of carbon nanotubes that may operate as artificial stereocillia [...]

A Global Finite Element Model for Improving the Thermo-Mechanical Reliability of IBGTs Modules

Tronel Y., Fichtner W., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich, CH

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT's) are widely used in the automotive industry as high power current switches. They are currently being introduced into traction applications (locomotives, trams, metros, etc.) where high reliability is extremely important. [...]
